Mother’s day is a yearly celebration that is an important holiday to us at seguridadindustrialcr. As some of you may already know, seguridadindustrialcr is run by the very talented Shannon and Dunn Latham, the talented and passionate mother/daughter duo. As tradition and family are woven into our everyday lives at seguridadindustrialcr, we only thought it was necessary to include a blog post highlighting just how we celebrate the strong, female figures in our lives. Additionally, seguridadindustrialcr loves our pieces that look beautiful monogrammed. It’s adds personalization to any gift. The pressed flower monograms are the sweet, personalized gift perfect for mom.
Whatever your Mother’s Day tradition is with your family, whether it be cooking breakfast together, enjoying brunch out and about, or taking in the sunshine outdoors, this craft is the perfect way for the family to spend time together. Whether you create your pressed monogrammed flower on a canvas or card stock paper, you can’t go wrong with this adorable and family fun craft.
What’s a more fitting Mother’s Day look for all of your family’s outings and plans than an outfit from our Topiary Garden Collection? This collection features polished blue and green floral patterns, ruffled and scalloped details, and lake blue gingham. The Topiary Garden Collection is the perfect match for picking gorgeous flowers in your garden to press dry and assemble for mom.
The Topiary Garden Collection has three beautiful bubbles to choose from for baby girl. First is the Maisie Bubble in Topiary Garden. This sweet onesie features precious embroidery detailing on the chest and a scalloped peter pan collar. The Birdie Bubble in Berry Floral features the darling floral pattern we see throughout the Topiary Garden Collection. The Birdie Bubble also has a high neck with ruffle collar and angel sleeves. Lastly, for baby girl we have the Berry Chain Tea Bubble. This bubble has so many gorgeous details. From the angel leaves, to the embroidery, to the scallop neckline, the Berry Chain Tea Bubble is swoon-worthy.

What You’ll Need:
25-30 Flowers
Scissors or gardening sheers
Large, hardcover book
Canvas 9x12 inch or card stock paper 8x11 inch
Glue Stick
Pencil
Clear frame 9x12 (optional for card stock paper)
Prep Work:
To get start with this monogrammed pressed flower activity, you’ll need to do some fun prep work! In your own garden or backyard collect flowers that are all relatively the same size. The best flowers to use in this craft are somewhat flat flowers with large petals. Using scissors or gardening sheers, cut the stem as close as you can to the actual flower. Once you’ve collected 25-30 flowers, lay them flat in between the pages of heavy, hardcover book. Allow the flowers to dry and flatten in the book for 24 hours.
Directions:
1. On your canvas or card stock paper trace out your monogrammed letter
2. Apply the glue directly to the card stock or canvas about at an inch at time
3. Stick on the first layer of dried flowers section by section, tracing out the letter
4. Add on as many layers, overlapping the first layer, to build on to the width of the letter
5. Allow for the flowers for dry at least two hours
6. If you used card stock, frame your work of art
